Unhappy oil temp trouble

I am having a problem with my 2001 screw. It has the 4.6.
When I start the truck the oil gage stays low and the temp light comes on. Then when I punch it, the pressure comes up and the light goes out. For about 5 minutes the gage will go to low and the light will come on, then go to normal and back down. Then after a few minutes and some heavy throttle it will go to normal. Any help would be appreciated.

Bad sensor, common problem. 1U5Z-9278-DA is part number for new improved replacement. Cheap and easy DIY fix. The original part sticks when cold, after it heats up it starts to work.
